Life....

Well,

Tim has to go back into work Tomorrow now ...

it was supposed to be:

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday then home Wednesday,

instead... our plans have changed yet again!!

That's what happens when you are married to a FireMan!!

Oh well... He won't be home till Wednesday...

Again I'm home alone to pack by myself...

I'm beginning to loathe packing and boxes and tape and newspaper...

seriously I really am.

It would be nice if Tim was around more to help out a bit.

Sometimes I think it is a good thing we don't have kids who knows what it would be like.

I really commend those who are married with kids and can do it without there Husbands...

I need to stop complaining I have it good, I have a house I have my health, I have a great MAN,

I just needed to vent a bit... so Now I'm DONE...

Hmmm I wonder How many people actually read my blogs??

Not that it matters I guess, It's something that I can just write what I feeling right??

Well I guess I better quit here for the night I need to go to bed...

Not like I'm doing anything important,

ha ha ha ha

Alright Friends

Good night

~Love april~

Hi Emily!!!!!!!!!!!

Firefighters adopt a family program

Hello,
This is the letter we have been working on to get out to people for the Firefighter adopt a family program we do... It is such an amzing time to give to people who are in need... Feel free to pass this a long to anyone you know who would be interested in helping us out. Thanks so much.
Here is the website also we just got put up and running. Were still working out some kinks in it. but you get the idea.

Dear,

For over 15 years, the volunteer firefighters of the Jurupa Valley have organized an Annual Adopt a Family program where we provide food, clothing, hygiene aids, school supplies, Christmas decorations and of course toys to the needy families of the Jurupa Communities. Working along with our brothers and sisters from Cal Fire, we join Santa Claus in delivering the items to these families over several days just prior to Christmas. Since its inception, we have supported over 350 families and brought holiday cheer to thousands of children.

In 2007, we “adopted” 45 families with well over 200 children. Each family was provided with a holiday meal, nearly two weeks worth of food, school supplies for the children, hygiene items for the children and adults and we provided wrapped toys labeled for each child. To accomplish this task we raised thousands of dollars and collected nearly 3500 toys. The money raised was completely depleted with a last minute requests being fulfilled by a local community philanthropist. Thankfully, we had enough toys to fulfill our needs and also to assist other cities with over 1500 toys.

This year, with a struggling economy, we anticipate a substantial increase in needy families throughout the Jurupa Valley; therefore, your assistance is needy now more than ever. We want to be prepared to provide for seventy families in 2008. Your contribution is greatly needed to meet this expected need.

We are asking your company to provide us with a contribution of >>>>>. If you have any questions or need additional information please feel free to contact Angel Sanchez, Jr. at angel@volunteerfire.net.

Your assistance will help bring a smile to a child’s face this holiday season.

Sincerely,


Angel Sanchez, Jr.
Adopt a Family Coordinator

Long Day...

Today I have been getting ready for the Month of December.

We do this BIG deal with the Fire department.

Its called Adopt a Family Every year we take in at least 30 Family's.

This year were going to 50+ it is an exciting time for us here at the Fire station.

This year I got to be in charge of getting it organized and get some Other ladies involved...

Thank God for them Cheerleader Mom's and their girls...

We litterally wrapped over 3000 presents last year...

in less then two weeks with out a lot of help...

it was a lot of LONG nights and days.

We didnt have much help either.

That is why we are doing things differently.

So with that said....

I cant wait till December to get started!

Hello...everyone....

I am still ALIVE...

We survived ITALY...

Its just taken me a while to get back on here..

I lost my Login and password for this...

since I have too many blogs to keep up with...

:) my bad...
SO things are going well,

Tim and I are planning on moving here pretty soon...

Lord WIlling... in December,

Not too Far but still in Sunny California.

SO I am totally looking forward to that.

Well for now, thats it. Its past 11 pm and Im tired...

Time for me to go to Bed...

maybe tomorrow sometime Ill get back on here and so some Layout's.

i need to catch up!

Love April

Italy Here we come!

Well Tim and I are leaving on Monday morning to go to ITALY with Patriot High School. Im finally excited about it. We will be gone for 10 days... whoohoo...
It will be great I cant wait to take LOADS of pictures. We got One free extra tour, which we will be going to PISA so we will go to the Leaning tower of Pisa... yaya...
there are 88 in all going on this trip. Its a chance of a lifetime to be able to do it!

About Lexi(the dog)
I decided to let Tim keep her IF he would let me get her Debarked... Im not cruel I just cant take the youwling and barking from her any longer... Ive gotten so much info on it that I think it is the best soultion for us instead of getting rid of her.
So when we get back from ITALY we will be taking her in to get it done.

(Emily)
The "Mother's Day" lunch went well... it was a little scary at first cause I am not one for taking charge and talking to a group of people. Singing wow thats another story Im not scared of that...
Those Mother day poems were a hit too at the lunchion I put them in nice frames which I have some left I was selling them to give the donations to the church for more programs like that, but I made about $22.00 so it wasnt too bad the other ones i gave away as gifts for the OLdest Mother and so on ... Im glad you were able to get them I have a few Left over if you want them I have them in 4x6's like an actual picture I can bring them by sometime for you. I dont mind they didnt cost me anything. I wasnt sure if Tammy was going or not I knew Zach was going to go ... it will be fun I wish you were able to go with us... Hopefully Next year you might be able to go Ill do my best to pursuede(sp?) MS D to let you go... wouldnt that be fun.?
I think (not too sure) but I think there going to go on a Cruise to Canada... I dont think Tim wants to go cause its too hard to take the time off but, maybe you and I could go... you have a while to think about it and sometime to find out for sure where they are going.
Hummmm Im wondering if I should of just wrote you an email hahaha... oh well i think your the only one that reads this anyway...

Well thats all for now I cant wait to leave...
Love April

Hello... back from the Sick...

...Well...

That was some weekend.I can't believe I made it through.Half of the time I didn't want to. I have a Busy weekend.
...ugh...

Sometimes I wish people wouldn't expect me to do things.

But I guess Im too nice to say No.

Don't get me wrong I love doing it but, not when Ive been sick.

I am in charge of our "Mother's Day" Lunchion at our church this saturday at noon.

Guess what????

I had NOTHING planned. Oh I had a few Ideas but nothing done so today all i did was get things planned and I have 50 ladies that already RSVP'd AMAZING!!!

I also made some Scrap book poems to go into frames to give as gifts for the ladies who have had the most children, youngest mother, Etc...

I believe Ive made 14 so far I have 2 more to do but Im pooped. plain and simple. I don't even want to think of everything I have to do tomorrow; besides decrating the church and buying decorations and getting food. Thank God I don't have to worry about a Job cause this wouldn't be happening.(Thank you Hubby)

Well anyway Im sure it will be fine once it's done, but I like to worry sometimes I know I shouldn't I am going to have help so it will be nice (Thanks Kara)
Well I guess I'll post the pictures of the things I made.

They are Poems I did not write myself ( Thank the lord for Internet) But I did do all the layouts.

YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO MAKE IT BIGGER TO READ THE POEMS!!

Randomness

Tim and I

Going out to take train pictures,

Its something we like to do together,

when he is home.

occasionally,

i get in the mood

and make scrapbook pages

out of the pictures...

I feel Miserable...

I hate COLDS... they are no fun!!

Well Im not doing anything today thats for sure. I made plans but had to cancel since I dont want to get anyone sick.

Well other then that...Tim went back to work today. He wont be back till Tuesday :( So im stuck in this house sick and all alone this weekend... NO FUN at all.

April
